+### `revalidate()` return shapes
+
+A `revalidate(fn)` callback can return one of four shapes. The chain
+processes revalidators in order; each call's return controls how the
+chain continues:
+
+```typescript
+// 1) Hard decision — short-circuits the chain, used as the final answer.
+revalidate(() => true);
+revalidate(({ actionId }) => actionId?.includes("Cart") ?? false);
+
+// 2) Soft decision — updates the running suggestion for downstream
+//    revalidators on the same segment, chain continues.
+revalidate(({ defaultShouldRevalidate }) => ({
+  defaultShouldRevalidate: !defaultShouldRevalidate,
+}));
+
+// 3) Defer (no opinion) — leaves the running suggestion unchanged and
+//    continues to the next revalidator. Implicit return / null /
+//    undefined are all equivalent and consumer-friendly.
+revalidate(({ actionId }) => {
+  if (actionId?.includes("Cart")) return true; // hard for this branch only
+  // implicit return — let downstream revalidators or the segment default decide
+});
+revalidate(() => undefined); // explicit defer
+revalidate(() => null); // explicit defer
+```
+
+If every revalidator on a segment defers, the segment-type default
+(e.g. params-changed for routes, `false` for parallels) is used.

 ## Middleware with Multiple Handlers

+// Group multiple middleware in an array
 export const shopMiddleware = [loggerMiddleware, mockAuthMiddleware];
 
-// In routes

+## Wrapping Middleware (Scoped to Children)
+
+Use the wrapping form to scope middleware to a subset of routes without
+introducing a visible layout:
+
+```typescript
+urls(({ path, middleware }) => [
+  // authMw only applies to /admin and /admin/settings
+  middleware(authMw, () => [
+    path("/admin", AdminPage, { name: "admin" }),
+    path("/admin/settings", SettingsPage, { name: "settings" }),
+  ]),
+
+  // Public route — no authMw
+  path("/", HomePage, { name: "home" }),
+]);

+
+Multiple middleware with wrapping:
+
+```typescript
+middleware([authMw, loggingMw], () => [
+  path("/admin", AdminPage, { name: "admin" }),
+]);
+```
+
+This creates a transparent layout (`<Outlet />`) that carries the middleware.
+The middleware does not affect sibling routes outside the callback.
